I had been planning on driving to Bella Coola on Day 54, June 18th, but a forecast for rain and a nag that something wasn’t right stopped me, and I headed to Williams Lake and then north instead. I decided that Smithers would be a good destination, making it...

On Day 51 of the trip, June 15th, I headed northwest from Lone Butte to Farwell Canyon, off the Bella Coola road west of Williams Lake. I had intended it to be 2 nights of boondocking, but it got extended to 3, and could easily have been a week....

For the past few weeks, my regular readers have been travelling with me through a world of ocean views and big trees. On Day 46 of the trip, June 10th, I crossed over the coastal mountains on the Duffey Lake Road into the dry Interior of British Columbia, to...

On Day 45 of the trip, June 9th, after 37 days being within a short distance of the ocean, I moved inland. After taking a ferry from the Sunshine Coast, the Sea to Sky Highway (BC Highway 99) was the route to Pemberton. We had a nice calm morning...

After reaching Earl’s Cove by ferry on Day 40 of the trip, June 4th, I got a camp site at Timberline RV Park, and then drove to Egmont to see if I could get on a boat tour to Princess Louisa Inlet. Picking Timberline RV Park as a place...

Our third sailing on a BC Ferries boat, the Island Sky, took us on the 9.5 nautical mile crossing from Saltery Bay to Earl’s Cove on Day 40 of the trip, June 4th. It was a gorgeous day for this particularly scenic ferry route, which takes 50 minutes according...

Day 40 of the trip, June 4th, would be my final full day on the upper Sunshine Coast, and I had a lot that I still wanted to see. Powell River’s historic Townsite was the main focus, but I also wanted to see more beaches and more forests. There...

On Day 39 of the trip, June 3rd, I moved just a few kilometers south of Powell River, to property owned by former Yukoners I’d met, and spent the day exploring south to Saltery Bay. Willingdon Beach Campground had been perfect for seeing the Powell River area. At about...

May 31st, Day 36 of the trip – starting the second half of the adventure if my 10-week plan works out. This was an easy day, with only about a dozen kilometers put on my motorhome. It was mostly a ferry day, sailing across the Salish Sea on BC...

Days 32 and 33, May 27th and 28th, were Cathy’s final days travelling with us. She had to fly back to Whitehorse to get back to her job, so we planned a couple of low-key days of wandering around Nanaimo. Also, though, I had finally made arrangements to visit...
